How to join
A Clan In World Of Tanks
WOT: How I play... Newbie guide to why and how to join a clan
Sharing buttons:
so welcome back to my channel this is
game at DOM and today I'm going to take
a look at clans and why they are useful
for keeping newcomers and even more
experienced players into the game and I
think you know it's one of those
questions you see being asked a lot on
forums
I've had people asking videos you know
why do you why do you want to join the
clan and what's the one of what is the
benefit of it well so this is my own
opinion of it others will have others
but so first up what is a clan a clan is
a group of up to hundred individuals who
come together in a group generally under
some sort of criteria in terms of what
they have to do and agreed to do if they
join a clan and there will be a
leadership hierarchy somebody who runs
the clan a couple of supporting offers
of recruitment officers and those sort
of things and the whole idea about a
clan is that they can work together and
the benefits of a clan from my
perspective are companionship unless you
are blessed by having you know dozens of
friends who play with you on a regular
basis in World of Tanks most of us don't
have that luxury we maybe have one or
two friends that play occasionally or
maybe not at all
and so by joining a community a clan
like like I'm in havoc 3 here you get a
chance to link up with players on a
regular basis or even a semi regular
basis and platoon with them so having
the benefit of working together in a
platoon is much more fun I think it
brings a lot more death to the game I
like to play solo from time to time but
I also like to be tuned now it's a lot
easier to be tune with people when
you're in the same clan with them and
each clan has its own sort of entry
requirements so again and I'm not
pushing havoc sorry particularly kind of
like the havoc community I think it's a
really good group of people but the
reason I chose havoc 3 was that they're
very flexible so you can join and play
if you want to play things like clan
wars and strongholds and team games that
it's entirely your call they they run
them and they have them happening which
is great and then if you just want to
come on and platoon occasionally or just
on with yourself there's no restrictions
so some clans I know are very
restrictive you must must be in there a
stronghold team whenever there's one
running and so forth so havoc doesn't
have that the only criteria they have is
that you must be on their team speak
when you play the game and that's
entirely fair and right so but every
clan has different sets of criteria and
rules and when you go in so this is the
World of Tanks clan finding page now I
can't show you all the other click a
knife and then I can't show you all the
other clans because ok so I stand
corrected you can look at other clans
but you have to put the name of the clan
in so is it an old clan that I used to
be in bridge 6 and again I can see I
like a good one my own clan what their
values are you know what their average
victory rate is what the clan rating is
average experience per clan across the
whole team I can also look at if I want
to who's in the clan oh no I mean this
is havoc again anyway here you can see
all the players in havoc and so forth
there's also the message board here
which is so this is the introductory
thing from from havoc saying you know to
join havoc you need to participate in a
teams on the teamspeak server you need
to basically on that all the time so
yeah that's that's the criteria and
every team will have different criteria
so teamspeak let's show you this this is
our teamspeak server it's a fairly quiet
because it's five to ten on on a quiet
mid Christmas day but you can see when
you when you come in here
the the havoc community is a huge one
because it encompasses multiple clans
and the beauty of that is you can clan
with you can platoon up with anybody in
the community so here you can see
there's also armored warfare if that's
your thing
they run clans for that
streamers so forth and then she come
down you can see all the different
lobbies for the different clans as of
what you need one you need to North
American clans what you need one North
America to North America three Southeast
Asia clan there and then there's hammer
cakes have a X North America have a
Maine clan as we got here anyway you can
see all different clans and down through
as you go down as well the platooning
happens so if you want to come one home
sitting here you create your own room
and you can platoon with people you can
either platoon with people who are
already here or ask for people to join
you so forth so that's how it works on
the on the teamspeak and of course with
teamspeak you're able to talk with other
people as you're playing the game and
that's a tremendous benefit if you've
ever listened to any of my premier slack
videos they recorded with clan mates
live as the game happens they a lot more
bands a lot more interaction you get to
know players and I've made some very
good friends in the game doesn't mean
you have to go and meet them socially
although some plans have social meetups
too so other way you can find out about
clans obviously people will try and
recruit you eating game I wouldn't say
that's necessary good thing my view is
that if people are desperate enough to
broadcast that they need people it
probably means they're not a very big
clan therefore not going to help you
much but if you go on the forum there's
a whole section around clans and clan
recruitments so here we go that they're
all looking for looking for platoon
people to join the platoons and they're
all different languages of platoons as
well again sometimes you'll get on a
platoon and they'll say you must speak
English
that's the clan language that doesn't
mean you can't platoon up with people
from you know so you're French you can't
you could join up in a platoon with two
of the French people and speak French
that's fine but it just means within the
normal game within the normal play you
have to speak English and each clan will
have its own thing there's German cans
let's check the plant
check plans all sorts so again you can
look up this and again I think the
advantage to me is friendship
you get camera artery with your clan you
enjoy the banter that goes on you know
people that and they will often a lot of
the bigger clans particularly will have
very very competitive sides to them so
they will run competitions they will
have regular clan walls and stronghold
battles and they take it very very
seriously arbors less so and it really
depends on what you're into the game for
if you really like the competitive side
of the game then you need to look for a
clan that it's that way inclined now
they will may well have other criteria
like you have to be online at certain
times a day and night and so forth but
you know that's your choice if it's what
you want you'll also find that lots of
them have their own web pages as well so
this is again the havok community gaming
page and you can see it has a scheduled
events training for some if you want
them we have forums of our own to
discuss things which is great and
various things about events and so forth
that are going on so again it gives you
a perfect opportunity to to mix and
learn and I like the habit one
particularly and what I would certainly
advise any newcomers to join a clan like
this that has training and helps the
team along to get better because that
was really really important you want to
get better in the game so you enjoy it
more and your clan should help you with
that
so anyway that's clans clans are very
simple things they are basically just a
group of individuals playing this game
for fun hopefully for fun and join new
forces to to have fun and that's why I
would thoroughly recommend joining the
clan I think anything like this helps to
perhaps your enjoyment of the game
considerably it's really really
important to
you can get stale playing on your own
all the time I think playing with other
players
getting that banter getting to know how
they play and what their ins and outs
are you know this players I know I play
with regularly who are very very good
light tank players and it's really
helpful to have them in you to when
you're playing with them there are
others just very similar to me and their
play styles others that love to camp and
it's great just to sort of meet up with
these guys play for them you know fairly
regular basis and then some days when
you just don't feel like it just don't
bother you don't have to so anyway
hopefully it was helpful
hope for the answers a few questions
have you got any questions around clans
let me know down below but go and have a
look go on to the clan page on World of
Tanks have a hunt around have a look at
the clan see what their entry
requirements are whether they're taking
people because that's the other thing if
they've got a hundred spaces and it's
full no matter how much you want to join
them
they're not really going to be a let you
in so if you want to start your own some
people do start their own and I never
understand why you why new players do
that because it's hard work to run a
clan it's really hard work so I went I
really recommend certainly to start with
join another clan find find a clan that
suits you has the same kind of matches
up to your how you play the game so if
you're a fun-loving player who'd only
wants to play casually they find a clan
that does that if you're a competitive
player who really wanted he wants to
compete in town walls and strongholds
then find a clan that does that if
you're a player like me who tends to
play weird times of day and night find a
clan that is it you know finds that
acceptable that doesn't mind you coming
on it doesn't have a requirement that
you're on from 7:00 till 8:00 o'clock
every evening there's some clowns do and
they're so important you check out the
requirements and what they're looking
for in their players and also that you
feel that you fit with them again I know
from personal experience most clans they
will ask you to go to sign up
quest to join and then go along to the
test to go along today there there
what's my teamspeak server that's it
and meet up with people and no havoc
you'll be a recruit you'll be a recruit
to start with and here we go there we go
to chap up here
applicant needs an interview and he will
wait as he's in North America so he will
need some recruitment officer from the
North American clans to talk to him to
check that he's got three heads and he
understands the requirements of the clan
and probably play a couple of games with
him just to make sure that he's you know
okay and doesn't go off in a complete
rent all the time because we don't like
that in our clan so yeah and that's what
they'll do and a lot of clans will have
a similar kind of entry requirement and
you know you have to go through that so
anyway hopefully this was helpful to you
if it was please consider giving it a
like if you've got any questions around
clowns let me know down below if you're
interested in joining the habit
community have a look I don't know
whether we're recruiting anywhere so we
generally players come and go so you
know and as I say there's multiple clans
there so if there's one it may well be
one that's that he's recruiting at the
moment of the group that there are so in
the meantime thanks for watching
enjoy your games have fun remember it's
just about having fun don't take you too
seriously it's just a game and I'll see
you again soon this is gamer Don out
you
